For months now, many fans have been wondering about the desert sequence in the recent promotional footage for Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The scene in question features the Caped Crusader going up against what look like Parademons, which led many to believe that it could actually be a nightmare. Thankfully, that has now been officially confirmed in the March issue of Empire Magazine, which labels the scene as “pure Mad Max.” The whole scene takes place on Kandahar and the magazine provides the following description:

“Batman…shouldering a machine gun, walks unbowed through the blizzard to greet an armoured juggernaut pulling up in a desert compound that’s walled with rusty containers.”

Additionally, producer Deborah Snyder has confirmed that “Batman’s voice is digitally altered by the cowl.” That bit, however, shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone at this point. The magazine also reveals that this incarnation of Alfred Pennyworth has a special-ops background and that he’s on butler duties only “when required”, so don’t be surprised if you see him kick some ass in the movie.
